hello world,





Sunday,December 7,2008

as expected,the whole family woke up later thn 9am. thus,we were all ready and on the road only at a quarter past 11am,making us two hrs behind the planned time. the weather was perfect for the first few hrs of the journey. however,when we entered the east side of the country,the sky opened up and started pouring heavily. the weather became extremely cold and unbearable. plus,i was having a really high fever on the very same day,making the journey ten times more unbearable. i even felt like jumping out of the car at one point. but thank the lord,the greenery of the country side calmed me down a notch. the journey took exactly eight hrs with only two stops at the petrol stations to satisfy our cravings and to take a leak. we arrived just in time for dinner and i was never more excited to see food laid out on the table. with an extremely hungry stomach and a huge appetite,i gobbled down my dinner. after unpacking a few stuff here and there,my fever decided to come back. mother gave me some medicines to be taken but it seemed tht none of them worked cause the fever did not even go down and my body temperature became extremely high. as sad i was,i was forced to lie down in the room with a wet towel draped over my head,while sister and brother enjoyed themselves with le cousins. i did not get to meet them until the nxt day -.- how sad,no ? sleeping was an unbearable experience. woke up a few times in cold sweats bcause of the high body temperature.

the fever miraculously went away by morning time. i woke up feeling much much better and the body temperature went down to normal. breakfast served was none other thn the scrumptious 'nasi dagang',one of Terengganu's famous dish. then,i had my first experience of watching a cow being slaughtered for Hari Raya Korban purpose. it was my first time seeing an animal shed a tear or two. before this,i nvr knew tht animals cld actually cry. so sue me for all i care -.- it was by far,the most out-of-this-world experience i hv ever felt,hands down. the smell did not bother me even a tiny bit as i was having a blocked nose. however,it did bother sister. quiet alot actually. so she stayed really far away while i did not even move an inch form where i first stood. after the unexplainable experience,le cousins and i started preparing for the barbecue. other than the cow's meat,we also barbecued some prawns and squids. good god,i ate more than what my stomach can hold. watched a few late night shows on le cousins' cinema-like tv. we were sprawled on the carpet,all nineteen of us. sadly,it was not really a full house as the other eight were m.i.a :s finally dozed off at 2am.

mother's yell woke me up. dragged myself out of the bed and took a shower. breakfast served was 'pulut'. gobbled down my breakfast while joking arnd with le cousins. then,mother forced me to pack my bags. after refusing a few times,i finally gave up and packed my belongings. saying goodbye was nvr an easy task,eventho i knw tht i wld be seeing le cousins again. truth be told,they are the only closest thing i hv tht reminds me of dad. whenever im with them,it's like the whole world disappears. i love how close we are even after these years. age nvr matters to us cause the bond tht we hv is just simply extraordinary. its a nice feeling,really :) anyhow,the journey back home seemed somehow shorter. however,time-wise,it was actually the same.
